No respect given

An insult relayed

No apology

An enemy made...

Art bridges the distance  
between forever
and today

Crossing o’er the cosmos

Ribbon oft relayed
Striking in its form outcast
Deliberate scheme
Overtaken by horror
She shies an ominous sight

Dark when day
These feelings convey
Locked an encaged
Lost and afraid
Creatures of the night
Are in our minds sight
When feelings relayed
We are locked away...

The wind chimes whisper
a tinkly  melody, 
relayed through
an easy breeze,
charming blessed ears.

Yet the chimes themselves
cannot hear
their own 
majestic splendor....

Be careful with words you intone,
because words have lives of their own.
Words overblown, relayed on the phone,
words in harsh tones that jolt, stun and depose,
and shock us with what they disclose....

A tempest swept in,
transporting my thoughts

The past to the future,
and back to today

Recapturing memories,
beginning again

Untimed reminiscence
—the present relayed

Spoken Words




Hurtful words relayed,
"Dislike"

Inopportune timing,
"Inconvenience"

Poor judgement displayed,
"Disappointment"

Opinions expressed,
"Substandard"

Choices made,
"Deserving"

The Unspoken word ...
"I'm sorry"...

Got Change?
By: Tom Wright
6/3/2006

Ernestine once said to me, “a penny for your thoughts”
So in a flash I relayed ideas foremost on my mind.
I didn’t mind that she was broken up with laughter
But I thought her asking for change was most unkind

woulds coulds 
       maybes and mightdos

 in  unproven views

        selected
             distortions


caution   beware

have a care


                   agendas relayed
    then    displayed 
in voiced opinions as fact

just ignore 
        never react...

EXPLULSION

Twisted portrayed
Lathered relayed
Unkept unpaid
Human unmade

Demon drawn
sunken within
Drenched in sin
Forbidden to live

Expelled expulsed
Repelled repulsed
Reviled exiled
Refired expired

purge the mighty soul
Rid the toxic mould

Beauty to behold...

Knowledge is not a paradigm,
but a bridge to something else

Its path to stay unmeasured,
when crossing into self

Devoid of polar opposites,
where beauty exits truth

To steal away, a soul relayed
—its burden stripped of proof

Victory is a song unwritten,
whose words beget the score

With truth in play, all time relayed,
past battles, future wars

Yesterday winless, tomorrow tied,
the moment zero sum

The hour prescient, each second dear
—glory still unsung

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)...

Caught up in the great “I don’t know,”
my mind refused to learn

Moving into the “Maybe so,”
my thoughts began to turn

Morphing through each “To and fro,”
the options marked my days

Spreading what was “Mine to sow”
—epiphany relayed

Upon hearing what you heard
And relayed with such devotion,
The soul arises as a bird from a puddle,
Shaking off its present absorptions,
Abandoning its own reflection,
Drawn toward an infinite horizon,
It's nudged along by wind-borne petals,
Entranced by a piercing blue
In a sheer, receptive sky....

I watched in sheer amazement
At their lively repartee
Of such silent engagement
Discussed extensively.

Expressed in small hand gestures
And eloquent vivid signs,
Messages sent were sure
Relayed as they designed.

As mute and deaf speak
Broken are the barriers
We cannot call them weak
In life, they can hear better....

It was the dream of night to write her message in verses of romance on nature’s ballad 
So, the rising morn painted passions of heart on marigold arc in vermilion and purple 
For that’s what Venus said love was, when moon relayed night’s song to amative dawn

Last night
I was able
to outgrow myself …
again
for the very
first time

Life was unspun
in the moment
relayed
where tomorrow
and yesterday
rhyme

Competing with
the future
the sky
and the moon
my wandering
complete

Turning my
destiny
inside out
my nature
expanding
—replete

As I write through the pain, this pen might as well be a razor blade
This sheet is sharper than a million paper cuts could have ever made
Thoughts dropping by the second faster than a guillotine's slayed
If Poe was my best friend, I'm sure he'd find these sentiments relayed
Rather than a fitting end, I'll just listen to the saddest songs ever played...

Kisses for today
Kissing for tomorrow
Some for joy 
Some for sorrow
 
Kisses are affection
In various ways
Relayed
Every day
 
Kisses to greet
Kissing goodbye
Some to be happy
Some to cry
 
Kissing moments
Who ever you may be
Oooo Miss Devonshire
Please kiss me
 
*Carolyn you have been Kiss Challenged! Write a poem about a kiss in any form you 
choose. 
Don't forget to tag someone else!...

Jacob was minding his orchard the other day
When snickeroo snackeroo he was snatched away
The apples said “Dang! Those aliens don’t play!”
Whisked into a spaceship, taken beyond the Milky Way

His faithful dog was the only one to tell the tale to his wife Kay
She did not fully understand his hound, Old Yeller Gray
But had the feeling Jacob was completely gone that day.
A terrifying tale relayed to me by my horrible cousin Fay.

A mystical illusion
Filled the gaps of time
Transported Innocent Angela to the land where truth resides
Surely a land where fears come to life

Soon the mystery unveils
Melody of a lost piano prevails
Shallow voices against the tainted plane 
“Mystery and Fame once relayed ” it claimed

Far beneath the meadows 
Within the garden of brass 
Lied little Cinderella with her broken shoes of glass 
Longing to go from rags to class...
